DS-181-4's considerable skill as a TIE pilot earned him a place in the 181st Imperial Fighter Group.[4] Turning down multiple promotions, DS-181-4 preferred to remain as a pilot in the 181st.[1] In battle, DS-181-4 often flew in a reserve position.[5] He had brownhair,[1] brown eyes,[2] and fair skin.[1]

However, elite Imperial pilots could also be found flying in various space battles, which took place in the Naboo, Tatoo, Corellian, Dantooine, and Karthakk systems. Because DS-181-4 only appeared in the space portion of Star Wars Galaxies, originally added with the Jump to Lightspeed expansion pack, he could normally only be seen inside his respective TIE interceptor. However, a comm display could appear during the battle, displaying DS-181-4's face. In addition, the collection icon depicted DS-181-4's physical appearance. While DS-181-4 piloted a TIE interceptor in the game, there is no indication it was Saber 4. Although players could choose not to participate in any of the battles or collections connected to DS-181-4,[2] this article assumes 100 percent game completion.
